Final answer:

The car may or may not continue to skid depending on specific conditions.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the static friction coefficient between the tires and road is 0.75, the car will skid and the friction coefficient will drop down to the kinetic value of 0.55. If the car continues to skid, then the answer to the question is A. Yes. If the car stops skidding and the friction coefficient remains at the kinetic value of 0.55, then the answer is B. No. Whether the car continues to skid or not is dependent on the specific conditions at that time, such as the force applied to the car, the weight distribution, etc.
